I think I often get the wrong end of the stick, but no harm done. If you upset or offend after this, apologise and move on.

It was pointed out to me that a comment i took as derogatory once was actually not. I looked again but I still couldn't see how it wasn't. I blocked the offender and there was never any further comment from him on the thread so have to assume I was right.

The hazards of the written word, no accompanying facial expression or body language to clarify and illuminate the nuances of what is written. Yes all the bloody time, dry humour often goes under a lot of people's radar and they are offended rather than made to laugh

It is hard, no matter how good you are at expressing yourself in yhe written word, to convey meaning accurately. Especially subtle humour. I have fallen foul of it too often for my own liking but it sadly is just the way it is. I'm usually better at it if I take more time to think, read again and reflect before responding. It certainly helps if I don't allow my initial emotional reactions to drive an immediate response.

I now need to re-read what I've written and take note for my future interactions

It happens quite a bit on here

The written word can be often be taken the wrong way without facial expressions and hearing the tone. Plus people have different types of humour.

I also think that a persons mood can often be a factor. If your feeling a bit prickly then you can more likely to take it the wrong way.

It happens a lot. Quite often I write something that people interpret as the product of a nut job, when in reality they should have construed it as showing that I am awesome. Or maybe not. I might have misinterpreted my own post. These things happen. Not enough sugar in my tea, possibly.

We all misinterpret but then a lot post in a vague way as they want to belittle in a subtle way and avoid timeouts. But the answer to your question has to be yes for everyone as its the types word and you get no real intent or facial input into an on line communication but usually I would say your first interpretation of someone's remarks will be correct.
